lara_croft Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Hi everyone. Very glad to have stumbled across these forums. So here's the thing. Last week I was out with friends at a restaurant and saw a really cute guy across the room. We ended up leaving at the same time and I struck up conversation. It was definitely a mutual attraction and good convo but right then my friend (who was my ride) came over and had to leave right away to meet her boyfriend so I didn't get a chance to exchange numbers. As we were leaving he told me that he would be at the restaurant the same time the next week and I said I would stop by. Well, unfortunately I had to work late and wasn't able to make it over to the restaurant. I was bummed because he was someone I definitely wanted to get to know better, and I feel badly that I wasn't able to make it out when I said I would. I do have a way of making contact with him. I didn't get a chance to tell him but my friend (also a guy) works at his office and I was thinking of casually asking him about the guy I met but would like some advice. I've never pursued anyone like this before so I'm not sure how that would be perceived. Advice??
garnet Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I think you should. What do you have to lose? Something like this happened to me once, but I wasn't lucky enough to have a way of contacting the guy afterward. I always wondered about him. Trust your instincts. If you felt the mutual attraction, then he'll probably be glad to hear from you.
Art_Critic Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I agree with Garnet... Work the friend avenue from your office for the feelers and some info on him..
Starry-eyed Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Definitely ask your friend who works with him to say something to him. It sounds like the guy did want to see you again, so it wouldn't totally be "pursuing" him at this point. What would it hurt? If the guy doesn't want to go out with you, you'll probably never see him again anyway.
Author lara_croft Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks so much for your advice guys. I'll give my buddy a call today and see what he thinks. Should I ask my buddy to pass on my phone number if the opportunity presents itself?
Art_Critic Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Honestly .. if you are the one doing the fact finding then I would make first contact.. that way you are in control of it. If you don't and he doesn't call you back then you will go nuts and wonder why or if you should wait etc etc... If your friend gives you the high sign then just ring him up.. easy peasy...

Great point A_C but I don't have his number. I could ask my friend for it if he gives me his thumbs up...
